Hypotheses
- Minor control hierarchy positions should fall somewhere in between the upper and lower social strata (230)Moore, B., Jr. - The relation between social stratification and social control, 1942 - 2 Variables
This article explores the relationship between social stratification and control hierarchies, defined as "command-obedience relationships" within economic, political, religious, military, and familial institutions. Results indicate a positive association.

Stratified societies should contain more control hierarchies than the unstratified ones" (230, 240)Moore, B., Jr. - The relation between social stratification and social control, 1942 - 2 Variables

Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - Women in societies with higher female status will be less likely to prefer partners with resources and more likely to prefer physically attractive partners than women in societies with lower female status (68).Moore, Fhionna R. - Female status predicts female mate preferences across nonindustrial societies, 2007 - 3 Variables
The effect of female status on women's mate preference in a sample of nonindustrial societies is examined.
Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - Production determined organizations possess the exact number of authority levels required by the technology. Socially determined organizations possess more levels of authority than technologically necessary, and hence are inefficient (49)Udy, Stanley H., Jr. - Work in traditional and modern society, 1970 - 4 Variables
Udy divides methods of work organization into 'production determined', 'technologically determined', 'socially determined', and 'pluralistic' types, and examines their prevalence across societies with varying subsistence activities and levels of social and political stratification. Special attention is paid to processes of integration and differentiation and their role in effecting transitions between organization types.
Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - The prevailing type of social base is related to the state of social development. Familial work organization receives its greatest relative impetus with the advent of sedentary agriculture. Specialized political units receive their greatest impetus with centralized government when they displace familial forms and gain control over resources (41-42)Udy, Stanley H., Jr. - Work in traditional and modern society, 1970 - 2 Variables
Udy divides methods of work organization into 'production determined', 'technologically determined', 'socially determined', and 'pluralistic' types, and examines their prevalence across societies with varying subsistence activities and levels of social and political stratification.

This book is a comparative study of the ways in which work is organized among non-industrial societies in the production of material goods. Two general hypotheses guide the author's work: (1) The structure of any work organization is influenced by both techonological processes and social setting, and (2) The structure of any reward system is influenced by the characteristics of the work organization, the social setting, and the limits imposed by features of the technological processes. Several predictions are presented and all are supported.

Udy divides methods of work organization into 'production determined', 'technologically determined', 'socially determined', and 'pluralistic' types, and examines their prevalence across societies with varying subsistence activities and levels of social and political stratification. Special attention is paid to processes of integration and differentiation and their role in effecting transitions between organization types.
Related Hypotheses Cite More By Author - Neither corporate businesses nor occupationally based contractual situations exist in preindustrial work to any extent. Such as exist are either occupationally based or at least job specific. The two structural types (characterized as developmental dead ends), 'ascriptive core-ascriptive group employee' and 'mutual associations' do not progress beyond the employer-specific level. The structural form, 'ascriptive employer-individual employee', however, does appear to be developmentally fertile (78)Udy, Stanley H., Jr. - Work in traditional and modern society, 1970 - 2 Variables
